a break.

hello all,

We hope that you all had a very very merry christmas- (or whatever holiday you celebrate, we do hope it was quite lovely!)

Here we are to wish you a very very very very happy new year, we hope this coming year finds you all well and blessed with great things to come!

We have had many many new things this year, we gained a baybee, as you all know, have gone through many many good and bad things.  have lost many to the rainbow bridge.  we know they are not really 'lost'.  just, not here with us for a short time until we can join them above.  Things continue to change around here, and well, there isn't very much time for blogging right now.

Our lives never seem to hit a nice smooth patch, it always seems as though SOMETHING is going on.  

So for now, we are going to be taking a break from blogging (if you hadn't guessed) until things calm down.  So for now, please know that we love each and every one of you, and are extremely lucky to be a part of the blogosphere.  We haven't forgotten any of you, and hope to return soon.

Much love from all of us,

Hansel, Tesla, and Benny.
(and the beans :) )

We are relaxin today.you know, watchin tv. with the baybee.

she's a baby potato. She LOVES tv. And if you get in the way, sometimes she screams.

So mad!

This morning we are so mad at the dad.

And found out he threw out the boxes mommy was saving for it!
So now we have to wait until mom gets a box!

Hello Friends-

We are here announcing that the STUPID mom forgot two entries on the halloween contest!

She woke up in the middle of the night - seriously- thinking OMC I FORGOT GEORGIA AND TILLIE!

Kind of funny when you think about waking her out of a sound sleep.  

However, in order to fix our horrible serious error, we have re opened the polls with a fresh start for these two categories:

Lamest Costume

Most Resistance to Wearing a Costume.

Please go back and vote in those two categories.

These two will be open until 1200 am November 4th est.

Thank you all!!!

FORGIVE US!
